DS Simulia XFlow 2020x (x64)

The Dassault Systèmes development team is pleased to announce the availability of XFlow 2020x Refresh 1 (Build 110.08) is a powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software designed for engineering analysis.

XFlow 2020x Refresh 1 (Build 110.08), January 9th, 2020
New Features
– Conjugate heat transfer is now available withtheimmersed-boundary method.
– New thermal coating option for conjugate heat transfer solids.
– Options in the Preferences to disable the resizing of wind tunnel when importing a larger geometry and for the automatic zoom at geometry importation.
– The animation folder is automatically set to simulation folder by default, and can be set to a custom folder.

Improvements
– Negative HTC values for low Prandtl numbers are avoided with the isothermal model.
– Temperature is now available with surface/volume solver integrals.
– The volume heat generation is now available for Conjugate Heat Transfer solids that have boundary conditions applied on different surface groups.
– The surface fields are now correctly Descriptionted in regions where VOF = 0 in multiphase simulations.
– Number of CPU used for domain generation is half the maximum number of CPU when no /maxcpu=N option is passed, with a maximum of 6 CPU. This is to improve scalability.

Bug fixes
– Some memory consumptionissues during post-processinghave been fixed when geometries with boundary conditions disabled are used in the project.
– Other languages support is now fixed.
– Remaining computation time in the process manager is shown correctly.
– Default vertical axis is now Y-axis when importing CATpart and CATproduct.
– Educational licenses behavior is now correct

XFlow offers particle-based Lattice-Boltzmann technology for high fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications as a part of SIMULIA’s Fluids Simulation portfolio.
In the modern competitive world of product innovation, industries demand the complex simulation of their product’s real-world behavior under extreme conditions; such as vehicles wading, powertrain lubrication and critical flight maneuvers.

The state-of-the-art technology of XFlow enables users to address complex CFD workflows involving high frequency transient simulations with real moving geometries, complex multiphase flows, free surface flows and fluid-structure interactions.

Its automatic lattice generation and adaptive refinement capabilities minimize user inputs thereby reducing time and effort in the meshing and pre-processing phase. This enables engineers to focus the majority of their efforts on design iteration and optimization.

With XFlow’s discretization approach, surface complexity is also not a limiting factor. The underlying lattice can be controlled with a small set of parameters; the lattice is tolerant to the quality of the input geometry and adapts to the presence of moving parts.

Advanced rendering capabilities provide realistic visualization to gain deeper insight into flow and thermal performance. XFlow’s unique capabilities enable companies to reduce physical testing while making to make better design decisions faster.
